Totally Bamboo Greenlight Paddle, Cutting Board, Large

Totally Bamboo Greenlight Paddle, Cutting Board, LargeI read the reviews and promptly ordered this board. Since I store my cutting boards upright in a slide out drawer the thinness was much appreciated. Very strong and easy to clean. Bamboo really is standing up to the hype. Love the size. Surface large enough to contain loose rolling pieces of veggies as I chop them. A word about what I learned about oiling your cutting boards. This is very important to prevent drying out, warping and splitting of your investment. Oiling helps seal the surface (a good idea to prevent small bamboo splinters from shedding in this case) and makes your board surfaces much easier to clean. But the 'key' is to only use food grade or pharmaceutical grade "mineral" oil that is available at any major drug store. Not baby mineral oil, motor oil or anything else. Ever..... This oil will likely be found in the 'laxative' aisle. Just ask if you have to. This lable will state 'USP' on it somewhere. Never, ever use any vegetable oils. They eventually become rancid and nasty gummy on the wood. Never allow the wood to sit waiting to be cleaned in a damp area or sink. Now I know better after having to sand down the surface and cut the split edge off of an expensive cutting board to order to save it. Scrub your boards clean with dish soap and a small brush. Rinse well and allow to air dry. Pour a small amount of oil in the palm of your hand and slather the board on all surfaces. Even the sides and handle. Prop it up somewhere overnight to let the oil soak in. Wipe off excess oil with a paper towel and store. Re-oil periodically when any surface starts to appear a little dry. Your board will last many years and while you are at it, just get two boards. Mark one for veggies/fruits and one for meats. I like to use a spray bottle of bleach and water on the meat cutting board immediately after its use just before soaping and scrubbing with a small hand scrub brush. Much safer that way.

I bought this when it was 50% off (and the next day it was back to regular price, how lucky was that??). Anyway, I like this board because there's a handle where I can hang it to dry. I was hesitant about the thickness of the board (3/8") since it is thinner than the other bamboo boards I looked at. I've used it for a month and so far, the board has not warped. There are three layers of bamboo stalks pressed together so that each layer runs perpendicularly to its adjacent layers, to prevent warping. It is resistant to knife cutting marks compared to my previous wood board (which warped and became pretty cut up very fast). Overall, it's a good quality board that's beautifully made. I wouldn't hesitate to serve food on this as well.

Oh yeah, it comes with instructions saying that you should oil the board every once in awhile with their special bamboo oil. I've just been using my regular cooking oil and it's fine so far. Maybe I'll update this post in a year with the results.

When this board arrived it was way better than I thought. It's a great size for chopping multiple items (no crowding) and it cleans off easily. Also bamboo is the best you can get for your good knives. I couldn't believe it said dishwasher safe. For me it was a sign from the company that they stand behind the product. I don't see a reason to toss the board in the dishwasher because it is so easy to clean. I recently soaked it with a good food grade mineral oil and it looks great. I hang it on my cabinet near the sink for easy access. I get lots of comments from folks who see it or watch me use it. Great product,great price.
